The Cumberland Presbyterian, Nash
vile, Tenn, remarks:
"Whoever reads the current literature of
the various churches of this country aud of
Europe will be convinced that the denomina-
tons are drawing nearer each other in sym
patty if not in doctrine. Sumner
Ellis was an author of considerable merit,
MS DOOh outitlou AT Our DtSls or, MAKING
the Most of Life" and his "Life of DIR. Cha
PIN being his principal works. He died
January IA, 1886, when he was not quite fifty
eight. This memorial volume contains thir-
teen of his sermons. They are models of
graceful diction and full of suggestive and
incisive thoughts. Those entitled ''The Uni
versal Intuition" "The Fallacy of Disbe-
lief, and Faith Confirmed by Progress"
contains well-stated arguments in favor of
the truth of revelation"
